📘 Screen: Irrigation Setup
The Irrigation Setup screen stores the combinations of speed and water depth used on the farm. Each setting links a speed to how many millimeters of water it applies — so, when recording irrigation, you just pick the setting instead of recalculating the depth every time.
📍 Location in the system
Menu: Operations > Irrigation Setup
🧩 Main function
Maintain the settings that will be used in irrigation work orders. They appear when the work order's Work Order/Activity Type has the Irrigation category — in activities of any other category, this setup is not used.
📝 Setup fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Description | Required. Name of the setting, preferably something that identifies the combination when choosing it. |
| Code | Internal identifier. |
| Speed | Equipment speed in this setting. |
| Millimeters | Water depth applied, in millimeters, at the given speed. |
| Active | Defines whether the setting is available for use. |
- Whoever records irrigation picks a ready-made setting, without recalculating the depth
- The same combinations apply to the whole team, which avoids different criteria
- Irrigation records are standardized and comparable across fields and seasons
❓ Frequently asked questions
The irrigation setting doesn't show up on the work order. Why?
Because it only appears when the work order's Work Order/Activity Type has the Irrigation category. Check the type's category and whether the setting is marked as Active.
Do I need to set up one setting for each speed?
Yes — that's exactly the idea. Each record links a speed to the corresponding water depth, in millimeters. Set up the combinations the farm actually uses.
I can't delete a setting. What should I do?
When it has already been used in a work order, the system does not allow deleting it — that would lose the history. Uncheck the Active field: it stops showing up in the lists and the old records stay intact.
